British Woman Arrested for Using Disguises to Fraudulently Take Citizenship Tests

The 61-year-old allegedly impersonated at least 14 individuals using wigs and fake IDs to help them pass the UK citizenship test.

A 61-year-old British woman was arrested in north London for allegedly taking UK citizenship tests on behalf of at least 14 people.
Authorities claim she used wigs, disguises, and falsified identification documents to impersonate both male and female applicants.
The fraudulent activity spanned multiple test centers across the UK between June 2022 and August 2023, according to officials.
The 'Life in the UK' test is a mandatory requirement for individuals seeking indefinite leave to remain or British citizenship.
Investigators believe financial gain was the primary motive behind the scheme, which the Home Office described as undermining the immigration process.
